Hak-Ju Lee is Back

One of the great pleasures of the early part of the 2013 season was watching a young shortstop, Hak-Ju Lee. But almost exactly a year ago we were writing about what turned out to be a season-ending injury. According to yesterday's transaction report, he is back with the team. We could not be happier.

That’s terrific news for Lee and for the Bulls. He was not in last night’s lineup, but today … we'll see. I'll update this post as soon as I see the lineup.

The downside of his arrival (and the return of C.J. Riefenhauser) is that catcher Mayo Acosta and infielder Robby Price had to come off the roster. It’s not entirely clear where they’ve gone. My guess is that Acosta is still around, but that Price may end up in Montgomery. But it’s just guesswork on my part.
